Bimetal Cutouts
Types R20/R22 are bimetal detectors and temperature regulators. Types R30/R32 are temperature limiters (manual reset) without trip free mechanism. The thermal response works a bimetal snap element electrically connected to the switch contact. The switch system is current insensitive. The thermal switches react only to external thermal effects. Double contacts ensure high switch performance and long service life. The housing, base, and the mounting brackets are voltage-free(Standard version: base and mounting brackets are aluminium-plated steel). Heat transfer occurs directly through the metallic base via convection, radiation and conduction in gaseous and solid media.

Applications Temperature regulation, temperature monitoring, temperature limiting and indication in electric appliances and industrial equipment, machinery and process engineering. Examples: Vacuum cleaners Electrical house-Ironing machines hold appliances, Cooking equipment, Electronic circuits, Dampers, Machinery, Heat radiators, Process engineering, Hot water heaters, Industrial, electric Coffee machines elements, Egg boilers, Electrical components, Electric appliances
